Galleries
Sharing Art with the Denver Community
Our gallery spaces offer members of our community the opportunity to enjoy a range of exhibitions and interdisciplinary programs exploring the visual arts.
Students Participate in Galleries By:
Showing Artwork
We feature undergraduate and graduate student work in the main lobby of the Shwayder Art Building and in Gallery 023, which is located at the lower level of Shwayder. Showcase your work while gaining valuable experience in art presentation.
Curating Exhibits
Our curation students have opportunities to design exhibits for our galleries. This hands-on experience prepares you for curation development and research careers after graduation.
